Mark Lettieri sits down with PRS Guitars to watch and react to some of his own clips, breaking down his tone, phrasing, and the occasional bit of snark along the way.

Whether you're here for the playing, the gear, or the stories behind the notes, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how great guitarists think about music.
